Because I have been reading FAR too many freebie and fashion blogs (my inventory is groaning under the weight!) I feel strangely compelled to tell you what I am wearing on the grid today:



Skin: []::Tuli::[] Emily [light/1] ~ coal (freckled) (group gift). One major thing I've noticed since resuming my second life is that there are a lot more good quality freebie or dollarbie skins than when I was a newbie, or maybe there are just more blogs to tell us where they are ;) This skin is lovely and summery, and I know you can't see the freckles on this pic but they're great nonetheless.

Hair: * 0 Style * fog * Newbie Hair in black. I'm wearing a lot of shorter hair lately and I felt this had a kind of sixties mod feel to complement the dress.

Dress: *Love Aya* retrospective two-piece (free). I tinted the white belt to match my ears and popped a purple system turtleneck on the underwear layer.

Boots: Umi Usagi. These white ones were a seasonal edition which I think I got for L$50 or thereabouts. I couldn't find them in the main store but you can buy them in black or brown suede for L$100, or hang around and hope the lucky chair comes good. I love my bunneh boots!

Tights: +SPICA+ (free).

Ears: Umi Usagi (free). Yes, OK, I love this shop. It makes me a happy bunny.

Nails: .:to heart:. (free) There is a fun goth/vampire skin freebie as well and the normal skins are L$25 for a set of five makeups.

Bracelet: Fresh Baked Goods *VELVET* SIM Launch Gift (free)

(You can't see my tail, but I can't remember where I got it from anyway. It's one of those full-copy Linden-produced objects you find in freebie boxes everywhere.)

As might have been predicted, the sales dragged me back. Like, Sin Skins slashed all their prices in half so I could get my perfect skin on budget! Well, ok, not really on budget, since I'd already spent my L$500 on a lovely Gala skin:



Nice as this is, the 'pale' tone is a smidge too dark and the 'alabaster' is a touch too night. Also, no freckles. When I heard about the sale, I had L$480 left in my balance, so I spent an afternoon on the dancepads before running off to Sin Skins and coming back with my prize:



I then found myself with but three lindens in all the world, but hey, I have freckles!

In other news, I've been learning to build. Yesterday I made a pair of sandals following Natalia's tutorial, and eventually I want to make myself a pair of boots. And today I made a bracelet with chunky beads to go with my white Leia dress from Bossa Nova. I still suck, but at least I'm having fun again!
